Thank you for your presentation. I was wondering about tags (and SEO in general). If I understood you correctly, I’ll forget about establishing a tag cloud, which is cute, and keep doing what I do– writing with high quality.

You should have Google Analytics on your site, which will give you a good sense of traffic. However, I’ve found that Analytics doesn’t update data throughout the day or will oftentimes not keep a good track of traffic if the blog is a subdomain of a larger domain. In that case, I’d recommend a WordPress plug in like Jetpack, which will give you traffic data that’s updated every hour or couple of hours throughout the day. It’s a lot more real time as far as traffic goes, and provides some other data as well.
